VC++ .NET 2003: XmlTextReader Errors C2144 & C1004

[SHC]

Hi all,
I read the Microsoft KB Q815658 "How to read the XML data from a file using
Visual C++ .NET" and tried to follow the steps of executing its source code
in my VC++ .NET 2003 under Console Application (.NET). I lauched a project
'Q815658XMLRead ' (see the attached .cpp file below) and did the "Build" and I
got the following 2 errors:
c:\Documents and Settings\Scott H. Chang\My Documents\Visua l Studio
Projects\Q81565 8XMLRead\Q81565 8XMLRead.cpp(13 ): error C2144: syntax error :
'int' should be preceded by ';'
c:\Documents and Settings\Scott H. Chang\My Documents\Visua l Studio
Projects\Q81565 8XMLRead\Q81565 8XMLRead.cpp(13 ): fatal error C1004: unexpected
end of file found
Please help and tell me where I made mistakes and how to correct these 2
errors.
Thanks in advance,
SHC

Please help and tell me where I made mistakes and how to correct these 2
errors. using namespace System;
using namespace System::Xml

^^^
There the semicolon is missing, you need
using namespace System::Xml;
according to the error message.

Hi Martin, Thanks for your response.
I corrected the error and did the "Build" again. On the c:\ screen, I got
the following: Microsoft Development Environment
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Xml.Xml Exception'
occured
in system.xml.dll
Addtional Information: System error
|Break| |Continue|
I clicked on the |Continue| and I got the following:
"c:\Documen ts and Settings\Scott H. Chang\My Documents\Visua l Studio
Projects\Q81565 8XMLRead....... ..
unhandled Excetion: System.Xml.XmlE xception:
The XML declaration is unexpected.
Line 1, position 4

settings\.....\ .....\q815658xm lread\q815658xm l.cpp:line 17
The Line 17 in my .cpp program is "while (read->Read())".

I am new in VC++ .NET 2003 and XML programmming in VC++ .NET. I just have my
VC++ .NET 2003 installed and this "Q815658XMLRead " is my first XML
programming project. I need to tell you the following 2 things:
1) When I read the Microsoft Q815658:How to read the XML data from a file by
using Viusual C++ .NET, I saw the step #6: Add a reference to System.xml.dll
in the project and the additional information is in the article of the
Microsoft Knowledge Base: 310674 - How To Add reference to a managedVisual
C++ project. I read it, but I did not understand it and I did not do any
thing about the "reference" in my project.
2)In the original code lisiting, void _tmain(void) was used in my project. I
changed it to int _tmain(int argc, char* argv[]) - this is based on my
guessing!!!

Did 1) and 2) cause the problem in my project? Please hehp and advise me
how I can correct the problem and make the project working for me.

Many Thanks,
SHC

P. S. I itried to abort my "Build" process after 'Debug' and 'Break'. I
clicked on the
"Build" menu, I just saw 'Configuration Managert' only and I do not
know how
to abort this process now. Please advise on this matter also.
